A hood mount like Jimmeh has (wow, haven't seen you on here in forever, almost literally) is the best for reception besides a center mount on the roof.
Using dual antennas unless 8+ ft apart is merely looks. If you're set on two, wire one up and run it as a single, also easier to tune this way as well.

And I thought duals needed to be at least 4 feet apart?

The mounts I have are pretty damn flat. I mounted them to the underside of my tool box. You could probably find a mount that will let you mount it to the cab wall of your bed. You could probably get mounts like Alon made a while back, like a vertical door jamb mount and mount it to the bed.
There are a ton of options all over the place, you just gotta look.
These are the mounts I have on my Ranger:

I didn't mod them in any way, just bolted them to the bottom of my box.

Love the Nobama stickers, a few of those got my car keyed a while back.
Luckily I caught someone doing it.
The more I see the alon mount, the more I want it. But I like mine the way it is, yet I might be picking up a tonneau cover, found a killer deal.
That Cobra is nice. I might try to find one, I was looking at a decent Midland...

you could have easily mounted it to your rear bumper.a friend of mine has one on his jeep mounted to the bumper. i mounted mine to the bed but im lookin for a toolbox so if i find one thats where it will be. by the way firesticks are amazing in my opinion ive got 4 ft one and im lookin at a 5 ft for my nissan, but i also like the whips
